  • 2​Nd​- Into 3​Rd​- Grade Summer Reading List
    nd rd 2 -​ into 3 -​ Grade Summer Reading List ​ ​ *============================* Liz Perry, Librarian for Stacey Hubbard, 2020 Listed below are books to read to your children and books for your children—if they are ​ ready—to read on their own. A fine guide to reading comfort is a thoughtful evaluation of your child’s response to what sits in his or her lap: Is he or she mastering most of the words on the page? If there is frustration, consider an easier read. For your own read-aloud interest—and to connect with stories you might have encountered long ​ ago—books below are separated into categories contemporary and classic. While books published more than 50 years ago may have old-fashioned views, they represent takes on cultural views and rituals of family life that become more varied (politically correct) in later works of fiction. It is worth noting that an “adventure” a hundred years ago could dwell in the simplest of activities: finding stray buttons while dusting or following a butterfly across a meadow. What is worthy of the term “adventure” in juvenile literature today? Parent read-alouds are still rewarding social exchanges even with proficient readers, and conversation around stories can give revealing glimpses into how your child experiences and interprets the world. I Can-Read/Ready-to-Read Series While there are many worthy reads in this genre featuring books children will want (and perhaps need) to read multiple times, choices below tend toward more traditional illustration and a gentler narrative voice. As you make your selections, try to avoid cartoon-like formats that sometimes over-simplify the beauty of nature or caricature the human form.
